The exterior of the new school building will be finished in about a week, and the building committee wishes the grading done before the ground freezes. There is no money for this purpose. Although the erection of the building itself will not cost a dollar more than the contract price, no provision has been made for the grading, and it seems unwise to borrow money for this purpose.

The building committee and the board of education after discussing the matter came to the conclusion that this work ought to be done by citizens of the town, without further compensation than the satisfaction of having a part in beautifying the grounds of one of the finest school buildings in Rockingham County. The Union is in hearty accord with this plan. It is done in many places, and it enhances the pride which each citizen takes in the property from having taken a manual part in the work.

A day has been set for the work - THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3. Every male citizen large enough to help is urged to give a day's work with shovel, rake or other implement; every owner of a team is asked to give the use of it with a driver for that day for ploughing, scooping, or hauling gravel. There will be work for everyone, and everyone should work.

The women will serve a splendid dinner for the workers in the Congregational Chapel and it is worth a day's work to get a dinner such as the Hampton women can serve.

LET'S MAKE IT A HOLIDAY. Close all places of business and push the work to completion in one day. Anyone who can give his team or who desires special work should notify Mr. C. S. Toppan, Mr. Warren Hobbs or any member of the building Committee most convenient; everybody else can report for duty at the school grounds at 8:00 o'clock, Thursday, November 3, or if it rains on Thursday, report on Friday.
